Diet Coke (Bottle) Recipe

Chill bottle (if necessary)

If the bottle is not already chilled, place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in an ice bath for 10–15 minutes until cold.

Prepare glass

Fill a tall glass with about 6 ice cubes (adjust amount to personal preference).

Pour

Open the bottle of Diet Coke. Pour slowly into the prepared glass over the ice to minimize foaming and preserve carbonation. Stop pouring when the glass is about 90% full to avoid overflow.

Garnish (optional)

If desired, squeeze a lime wedge lightly over the soda and drop the wedge into the glass for a citrus finish.

Serve

Serve immediately while cold and fizzy.
